Hamburg Trio

Description:

Rare recording of Schumann's complete piano trios. The recording session was conducted by a group of European artisans who gathered together and poured their passion into the recording. The members' extensive performing abilities are proven by the fact that they have met the demands of numerous collaborators and conductors. The Hamburg Trio has given many concerts in various places, but this time they elaborated their music in a precise environment without inviting an audience. This recording allows the listener to feel the presence of active performers at the forefront of their field. We hope that you will enjoy a different listening experience from that of a concert hall, while also contemplating the life of the composer Schumann.
